Fortnight featuring Post Malone is the first single from THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT. Hear our department’s anthem at midnight tonight and watch the premiere of the music video at 8pm ET tomorrow!
Vivienne Westwood shares the process of making Taylor Swift’s TTPD tour costume:
This is a custom couture draped corseted gown made from white recycled taffeta. The dress was delicately inscribed with the lyrics, “I love you, it’s ruining my life” from Fortnight.

TTPD is about IWTV
(Part One)
Okay, listen, I know I sound crazy and if you’re not a Swiftie or an Anne Rice fan, then those acronyms are going to look like gibberish to you.
But, the girlies who get it, get it. And this is for us!
I was listening to Tortured Poet’s and thinking about IWTV Season Two (we’re so close to May 12th!), and then something clicked in my brain.
EVERY SONG ON THIS ALBUM FITS INTO THE IWTV UNIVERSE.
Just hear me out.
Due to tumblr’s ten image limit per post, this is going to be a thread of sorts. I’ll be going through every song on the album and explaining where I think they fit into the vampire canon. Starting with…
1.) Fortnight
To me, this song screams a brief fling wherein one party was not “in” as much as the other. And what can unrequited love mean besides, of course, Lesmand.
“You ended up not with the person you loved and now you have to just live with that every day, wondering what would’ve been, maybe seeing them out.”
-Taylor Swift
To me, this song is Armand lamenting the loss of Lestat from his life, and wishing things could’ve gone differently.
“And for a fortnight there we were, forever”
“I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary”
“I love you, it’s ruining my life, I love you, it’s ruining my life”
“I touched you for only a fortnight, I touched you, but I touched you”
2.) The Tortured Poet’s Department
This eponymous track has to go to Daniel and Armand. It’s only fitting. I know, I know, Daniel uses tapes to record the interview, not a typewriter, but it’s close enough.
If you consider the Devil’s Minion chapter from QotD, this song hits even harder. And honestly, what is Daniel if not a tortured poet?
“You left your typewriter at my apartment”
“And who's gonna hold you like me?”
“And who's gonna know you, if not me?”
“This ain’t the Chelsea hotel, we’re modern idiots”
“But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave”
“And I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen”
“Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be, cause we’re crazy”

MOTHER AND POST MALONE OMGGG
TAYLOR SWIFT — 'Fortnight' (feat. Post Malone)
A Tortured Poets Department
Since I first saw the Fortnight music video (three months ago lol) I've had a idea of a story stuck in my head, which is practically based on the idea of a "Tortured Poets Department".
The Tortured Poets Department would be a company (?, located in no specific location but which could be in London or Florida (???, run by a tough woman of indefinite age named Cassandra Bolter. TTPD was created and is maintained based on the tragic and often premature deaths of frustrated poets whose souls are full of sorrow, the job of these poets is to write on typewriters in offices, ideas for great tragedies that may happen in the world. Cassandra keeps these souls in the apartment, making them forget all the details of their past lives with the exception of the feeling of sorrow, so they continue in the offices for eternity writing pain.
But, every few centuries, Cassandra makes the mistake of putting two souls who fell in love in their previous lives in the same office, and when this happens, they stop writing tragedy, and write secondary stories of love and happiness, something Cassandra does not. can allow, there is a reason it is The TORTURED Poets Department and not The Happy Poets Department.
The two souls that met this time were Clara Smith and Peter Robin (all the characters' names are references to songs on the album, yes), and Cassandra to prevent them from continuing to write happy things (she can't get rid of them, they are souls, are important) tries to erase both their minds that they ever met in the department and move them to another office, but they keep remembering and finding a way to see each other again.
I still don't know what the ending will be or if Clara and Peter end up together (probably not and it will make them both grow as poets and find new muses). Maybe I'll post it on ao3 (when I get an account) or maybe I'll never write it, but I liked the idea and had to get it out of my system somehow.
I cannot express how thankful I am that someone's done this I was literally listening to TTPD last night thinking about how well it fits them
